Introduction
The GS12141 is a low-power, multi-rate, serial digital re-timing cable equalizer
supporting 12G UHD-SDI. It is designed to equalize and restore signals received over
75Ω coaxial cable, automatically recover the embedded clock from the digital video
signal and re-time the incoming data. The device supports SMPTE ST 2082-1 (12G
UHD-SDI), ST 2081-1 (6G UHD-SDI), ST 424 (3G-SDI), ST 292-1 (HD-SDI), and ST 259-C
(SD-SDI) signals and is optimized for performance at 11.88Gb/s. The device also
supports equalization of MADI at 125Mb/s. This document describes the contents,
features, and use of the GS12141 IBIS-AMI model. The model includes receiver IBIS
model and a transmitter trace driver model and facilitates simulation of the GS12141 in
EDA platforms compliant with IBIS 5.0.
1. GS12141 IBIS-AMI Model
The GS12141 IBIS-AMI model is comprised of transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) models
as shown in Figure 1-1. The Tx model includes IBIS and AMI models and can be used in
both time-domain and statistical simulation modes. The Rx includes IBIS and AMI
models and can be used for simulation in time-domain/bit-by-bit mode. The model will
be updated based on correlated lab data once validation is complete.
The Rx IBIS model models the DC-termination of the GS12141 high-speed inputs and
the Rx AMI model includes a cable equalizer based on pre-tape-out simulation data and
is representative of device performance. The Tx model contains the trace driver with
swing and pre-emphasis controls. The input to the transmitter model is equivalent to
the signal after the GS12141 CDR. The Rx and Tx models need to be used in separate test
benches to optimize swing and pre-emphasis settings. Note that the clock and data
recovery (CDR) functionality of the GS12141 is not included in these models.

1.1 GS12141 Receiver IBIS Model
The GS12141 Receiver IBIS model consists of three parts: (1) the Analog Termination IBIS
model, (2) the Receiver AMI model, and (3) the QFN package model. The block diagram
in Figure 1-2 shows the sequence of signal flow and the individual parts of the model.
The external S-parameter file for the QFN Package model extends the accuracy of the
package effects beyond what can be described by R, L and C components in the IBIS 5.0
standard. The external S-parameter data is processed as part of the channel by the EDA
platforms.
Figure 1-2: GS12141 Receiver IBIS Model
1.1.1 GS12141 Receiver IBIS Model
The GS12141 receiver IBIS model is extracted from device simulation results. The
receiver IBIS model contains the GS12141 Receiver input termination circuitry and is
used by the EDA platform to determine the time-domain impulse response for the
channel. The current revision of the IBIS model contains typical (Typ), maximum (Max),
and minimum (Min) corners which can be selected from the EDA user interface.
Note that the IBIS model only contains the DC termination impedance of the receiver.
Frequency dependent simulation (e.g. return loss) using the IBIS file is not accurate. It is
recommended to use GS12141_RX_Term.s2p S-parameter file instead of the IBIS file for
input return loss (IRL) simulations. See Section 1.1.5 for details on the return loss
simulation setup.
1.1.2 GS12141 Receiver AMI Model
The GS12141 Receiver AMI model includes an equalizer and slicers. Note that the
receiver AMI model is designed for the 12G and 6G data rates (11.88Gb/s and 5.94Gb/s
respectively) and should not be used for lower data rates. For simulation at 3G and lower
rates, IBIS-only simulation without the AMI model should be used. The AMI model does
not include automatic equalization. The equalization level is controlled by the
cable_length model specific parameter, which specifies the cable length (in meters) for
signal restoration.
The upstream transmitter launch swing is specified via the launch_swing model specific
parameter. Table 1-1 shows the value of the launch_swing parameter for different
launch swings.

Reducing the number of points per unit interval (UI) can increase simulation speed at
the cost of lower accuracy. This parameter can be set in "Advanced Convolution
Options" in ADS Channel simulations. Recommended values for this parameter are 32,
64 or 128 points. Please consult the EDA vendor for guidance on optimizing simulation
speed if not using Keysight ADS software.

Note that the clock and data recovery (CDR) functionality of the GS12141 is not included
in the AMI model. To ensure that the CDR can recover the data, the signal at the Rx
model output should have less than 0.5UI jitter and more than 350mV

The GS12141 receiver package model is provided as a 4-Port S-parameter file
(GS12141_RX_Pkg.s4p) in standard touchstone format from 0GHz to 30GHz. Figure 1-5
shows the S-parameter port mapping inside the package model.

The GS12141 Transmitter IBIS-AMI model consists of three parts: (1) the Analog Driver
IBIS model, (2) the Transmitter AMI model, and (3) the QFN package model. The block

the model.

1.2.1 GS12141 Analog Driver IBIS Model
The transmitter output IBIS model receives processed signal information from the
Transmitter AMI model and applies the analog characteristics of the GS12141 trace
driver. The IBIS model only contains the DC characteristics of the driver in the I-V tables
of the IBIS file. Frequency dependent simulation (e.g. return loss) using the IBIS file is not
accurate. The GS12141_TX_Term.s2p S-parameter file can be used for output return loss
(ORL) simulations.

1.2.2 GS12141 Transmitter AMI Model
The GS12141 Transmitter AMI model provides programmable swing and pre-emphasis
controls adjusted by model specific parameters.
• output_swing: Sets the output swing level (amplitude) of the driver
Default setting: 44 (800mV
ppd
)
Valid range: 0-63
Increments swing by approximately 15mV/step from 0-1100mV
ppd
• output_pe_amp: Sets the amplitude of pre-emphasis pulse
Default setting: 0
Valid range: 0-63
• output_pe_width: Sets the width of pre-emphasis pulse
Default setting: 0
Valid range: 0-15 (Note: GS12141 device has a setting range of 0-31 for
additional optimization capability)
Note: The amount of pre-emphasis varies with the settings for both output_pe_amp
and output_pe_width, providing between 0dB and 10dB of pre-emphasis on the first
bit after a transition. It is recommended to vary both parameters to determine optimum
settings for each design. To help the user chose initial settings sample simulated eye
diagrams are provided in Figure 1-9 through Figure 1-18. All results were captured with
a data rate of 11.88Gb/s, PRBS15 pattern, output_swing = 21 (400mV
ppd
), and statistical
simulation mode.
